SO, I sometimes do not speak correctly. I admit it. For the most part, I am pretty good with my words, but now and then I screw up...My wife, on the other hand, is one of the BEST when it comes to MLA established English diction (which she made apparent today and everyday). I follow the rules, except when it comes to the objective. I never use the word ME when I refer to myself and something/someone else.
{i.e. - _____ and I went to the show. (correct) The world was saved by ____ and I. (incorrect)} I'm sorry but ____ and me just sounds wrong in my fragile mind (this feels like mad libs). On top of this frequent error of mine, I also do not pronounce words with "-or" correctly. Florida is pronounced: "Flarda", and Orange is pronounced: "ARE-ange". SUE ME !!! Regardless, I will struggle to improve from now on! Whitney, I want to be your Robert Sawyer. (that being the master/idol of English, and the dude that loves to diagram) Then again, I'll never love to diagram....
(Will, Whitney, and Lorelai......) which can also be written and should be written, "Will, Whitney and Lorelai....", in order to save time and effort....
SO, "who gives a #*$% about an Oxford Comma? I've seen those English dramas, too! They're cruel..."

Will, I've got a major grammar whammy for you--all these years I've been writing the Southern contraction for "you all" as "ya'll" and just yesterday I found out it was supposed to be "y'all." And in reality, it probably shouldn't be a written word at all! Tell Whitney to bite me. Godspeed.
